Her main interest was nonlinear plasma physics. She published more than 100 articles on the linear and nonlinear mode conversion in plasmas, the wave phenomena in non-equilibrium and non-uniform plasmas, interactions of radiation and particle beams with plasmas, solitons and vortices, the instabilities in fusion plasmas. She was conducting fruitful collaboration with colleagues from Sweden, the Netherlands, the USA and Russia.

Prof. T. Davydova was a careful supervisor for many PhD students who are working at the laboratories throughout the world. She was a member of the Expert Council, Supreme Certifying Commission at the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
